Cindy called Matthew but his phone was switched off. She got worried,'He hardly switched off his phone', Cindy thought.
Cindy: Melissa, can you go to Matthew's place?
Melissa was flabbergasted, "What, why?"
She looked down trying not to meet Cindy's eyes.
Cindy: His phone is switched off, we had a fight. I want you to go and check on him.
Melissa closed her eyes and sighed.
Melissa: Alright... I will.
Cindy: let me know later okay?
Melissa: yeah..
Melissa took Alex's car key and rushed out of the house. She was scared and anxious, hoping Matthew is alright.
It was still raining. Melissa revved and traveled faster than speed limit. The outside was blur to her, all she thought about seeing Matthew. A truck drove in front of her and she halted the car hastily. Her breath was heavy. She revved up the car again and reached Matthew's house in less than 20 minutes. She rushed inside and went to his apartment, she already brought his apartment key from Cindy. When she walked in it was dark. The curtains were down, lights were off. With her hands, she looked for the switch. When the lights were on, her face was full of fear. Matthew laid there on the ground, shattered wine bottle pieces around him and his phone on the other side of the room broken to pieces.
Melissa: Matthew!
Her eyes filled with tears, she rushed to him and picked him up. There few cuts on his hand from broken glass. Melissa kept calling his name and patted on his face to wake him up. It wasn't working. She picked up her phone and called for an ambulance.

Cindy was tensed wondering if everything was alright. Someone knocked her door, it was Alex.
In a cold voice she said, "What?"
Alex: your dinner.
Cindy: I'm coming, no need to bring it here.
She was going to get down from bed, "No need, take rest."
Alex walked toward her and placed a small table in front of her.
Cindy: it's not nece-
Alex interrupted her, "it is".
Cindy gave in. Alex was going to leave when she asked him, "Did Melissa call you or anyone?"
Alex raised an eyebrow, "No why?"
Cindy: Nothing.
Cindy's phone rang, it was Melissa. Alex was still there when she picked it up.
Cindy: Hello, where are you!? Is everything alright!?
Cindy's face tensed up hearing Melissa, "WHAT!? I'LL BE THERE."
Her eyes was filled with fear, Alex asked,"What happened?"
Tears streamed down her cheeks, her body was trembling. Alex rushed to her and held her tightly, "What happened!?" She slowly looked at Alex.
Cindy: Matthew..he...
Alexander's heart ached,"What happened to him?"
Cindy: He was hospitalized. TAKE ME THERE PLEASE!
Alex: But you are-
Cindy: NO! I DON'T CARE!
Alex sighed, "fine let's go. I'll call a taxi".
Cindy rushed out of her bed and changed her cloth.
Alex: Ready?
Cindy:Hurry.
